Ingredients

Shrimp Ingredients

  • 100 grams oyster mushrooms (or king oyster mushrooms)
  • 2 cups coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoon vegan egg replacement
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 3/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Shrimp Cocktail Sauce Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 2 tablespoon horseradish (or more to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

Shrimp Instructions (oven method)

  • Preheat your oven on to 400F.
  • Wash and dry the oyster mushrooms and then slice the mushrooms so they resemble a shrimp shape.
  • Add the coconut milk to a bowl and whisk in the egg replacer. Let it sit for a couple minutes to thicken. In another bowl combine the breadcrumbs, flour and spices.
  • Dip each piece of mushroom into the coconut milk and then in the flour mixture to coat it completely.
  • Place a piece of parchment paper or silicone liner on a baking sheet and lay all the coated mushrooms on the baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until crisp on the outside. Let the shrimp cool for a few minutes before serving.

Shrimp Cocktail Sauce Instructions

  • While the shrimp are cooking, combine all the sauce ingredients in a bowl, and stir well until smooth.

Notes

  1. Instead of oyster mushrooms you can also use king oyster mushrooms.
  2. To make this mushroom shrimp gluten free use gluten free breadcrumbs and either gluten free all purpose flour or almond flour.
  3. Instead of coconut milk you can use another dairy free milk.
  4. Depending on how large or small you cut your mushrooms, you may have to alter the cooking times slightly (the larger they are the more time they will need to cook).
  5. If you would rather make these in the air fryer or on the stovetop, refer to the directions in the body of text in this post for how to do it.
